Hal. Morrison, leg. S. Xagasawa, anno 1905, Nov. 



This monotypic species (S. Fortunei Mast is only a form of S. japonica 

 Thunb) ranges through Afghanistan to Japan ; but not yet found in any 

 region farther south than Formosa. Mt Morrison is, therefore, a southern 

 limitation of the genus Skimmia.
